LG Optimus L5 II E460 with Locked BL

I think so it is CLOSED. Think of all the new LG phone is locked BL.

My L9's machine's BL was able to open, with an algorithm (Thanks to XDA Forum!)

I ran this algorithm in the L5 II device too, but I have not seen a change.

It is also true that the L9 secret menu (3845#*760#) contains a "bootloader check" line, the L5 II secret menu (3845#*460#) does not contain this.

I hope, a smart, clever developer will solve this problem, because that the 5. post is written in very complicated...for me...:((( :crying:

I think I'll wait a simpler version. :(

v2.4.7

v2.4.7http://dfiles.ru/files/za4zl08n2​

Changes:

Get root by clicking the ROOT button on phones with v3.4.5 kernel (Android 4.2.1 on MT6589) by means of the motochopper exploit (credit to djrbliss ). After reboot it is offered to make in turn a backup, to reinstall SU (It is recommended! Since SuperSu is initially set as non system application and will be gone after reset on factory defaults! ), to make and download to phone CWM and boot with root shell.

In ini the file is added a key of SocToScatName in which there is a compliance of numbers of the "cut-down" platforms (about which doesn't know SPFT) to numbers of platforms with which SPFT works. (6513:6573,6515:6575,6517:6577,8317:6577,8377:6577,8389:6589). Now there will be no message about false hardware if, for example, SPFT defines a phone as 6575, and in a kernel someone changed to 6515. Information will be visible now as Hardware: MT6575 (MT6515? )

This is not really the right thread for unbricking you phone, you might get more help on the thread for your device.

But if you haven't got a backup you are probably going to need a copy of the factory rom for your phone, Acer should be able to supply you with that (hopefully) then once you have that head over to here.....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
SP Flashtool is a Mediatek tool and as far as I know will only work with MediaTek devices. If you can establish a connection with a pc then there is a good chance you can use it to flash new or factory firmware, if no connection with pc, and phone is completely dead, then it may still possible with many MediaTek devices to kick start it into bootloader mode by using the test point method, which was discovered by the author of this thread, which involves connecting a wire to the test point on the motherboard and the other end to ground.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
[MENTION=5045647]FightForDestiny[/MENTION] yes you need to be rooted first, in which case the colour indicator in bottom left corner in Droid tools, will then be yellow, and then press the root button to gain shell root access (indicator turns to green) once you have shell root, backup button will become clickable.

and you'll see this guy having similar problems, and if you look further down the page he gets it sorted by deleting an environmental variable on his pc (I think), which shows up as an additional error towards the bottom of the log file. You could check your log to see if you have a something similar, his error reads '"tty" option detected in CYGWIN environment variable.CYGWIN=tty is no longer supported. Please remove it ' or words to that effect

No I don't think that is the correct recovery image, you need the modified image which I don't think has been created due to errors earlier in the process.

I have a side request. If I have a working firmware to flash, is it correct to think that my device is mostly un-brickable? Since the firmware upgrade happens when the phone is off and as far as I know it is not possible to rewrite that firmware I should be safe whatever damage I can try to do to my phone. :). Is that correct?

Thank you so much!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cr4z33:
Yeah unfortunately I am not. :(

I might see if I can find the right log.

By the way... the backup I made isn't accepted by SP Flash Tool.

It says the scatter file created is not for my device.

Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy Note con Tapatalk 2
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
Not sure if that's 100% correct, I think you'll find if you flash a new Rom / firmware that effectively wipes the system anyway, and if you manage to flash the incorrect firmware and in particular the incorrect preloader block, you may indeed find that your phone will not boot or connect to your pc, and if you cannot establish a connection with your pc then you can't flash your backup firmware.

Mtk devices are mostly unbrickable, because there is a way of kick starting most devices into bootrom mode, even if it is completely dead, it involves creating a short between the motherboard test point and earth, it is then possible to connect to sp flashtool and flash your backup firmware. The problem is you may have to partially disassemble your phone to access the test point, thats assuming you know where it is.

Far better to be careful and not download anything to your phone unless you are sure it is correct for your device, and never download the preloader and DSP_BL blocks unless it is absolutely necessary.

As far as the problem you are having with mtkdroid tool, I can't help I'm afraid as I can't make a lot of sense of the log file, I could only suggest you perhaps try an earlier version of droid tools and see if the problem persists.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Superfebs:
Thank you for your super-throughful answer!

Man, this is cool as f**k.I guess that I could try all points on my motherboard until I find the right one - assuming there is no indication on the motherboard itself.

And probably there is nothing like that actually :).

Just in case, let's suppose that I get a raging frenzy and I really screw up my phone. I will then need to: open it up (this sucks, being it a super waterproof phone, but whatever), identifying the sweet spot, grounding it. Now what? Supposing that the phone was off, should I turn it on in this moment? Or, the way is another one? Thanks so much. :)

I already thought of that. I tried, but in vain. By the way I tried to load a backup made from MTK Droid Tools into SP flash loader and the latter just crashed with that scatter file input! That must of course be related to the error previously noted.

I really hope that rua1 could help. I can of course provide any info and file needed as necessary. Other Runbo X5 users would be thankful as well as me ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cr4z33:

There's a short explanation here....... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37753527#post37753527 post # 941

and if you go back to Post # 935 there's a pic of the test point for an mt6577, but all phones are different. If you search these threads for 'test point method' '

you will find more info.

What you need first of all is the correct firmware to flash, otherwise it will be a pointless excercise. and before taking your phone to bits, I would make sure that that you have no connection to your pc, check in device manager and connect switched off phone to pc and see if anything appears in the ports section, if there is a connection you will see 'usb preloader vcom port' or similar, but it will only be visible for a couple of seconds when you connect your device. If that pops up then you should still be able to connect to flashtool.

Disassembling you phone will almost certainly invalidate your warranty.

If I am correct, soldering would not be necessairy when it has been possible to flash before, right?

Did you try to flash by removing the battery, press download button and then connect phone?

If not, you can return the battery and then connect.

All MT6577's I had were flashable, just some 6573 that did not (which I trashed by the way, because the flash memory has errors now).

You do need a proper ROM indeed that matches your hardware.

Before anything, try backup what is on it.

If you could flash it before and found now rom, you could buy a second one and copy that rom.
